The track is a precursor to the bands second single ‘Anaesthetic’ due in Feb 2015. With striking honesty and poignant lyrics, ‘100 Lanterns’ is a personal lament to mark the passing of vocalist Anna Waldmann’s mother last year:
“100 Lanterns is about how letting go of a struggle can be very beautiful. It was written about a memorial service that I made for my mum. It went really wrong at first and we set fire to some trees, dodged fireworks and got covered in her ashes! At the end though we had one last lantern that we set off and it went really high in the sky.”
YOU recorded ‘100 Lanterns’ with producer, Dave Pemberton (Prodigy/Groove Armada) at Pyramid Studios in London. The session was recorded in an exclusive video clip, which can be viewed here.
‘100 Lanterns’ is available immediately as a free download for a limited period only from the bands Website, Soundcloud and Music Glue pages.
